[PATCH] Fix SKB leak in ip6_input_finish()

2005-08-29T16:55:13Z

Changing it to how ip_input handles should fix it. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] sg.c: fix a memory leak in devices seq_file implementation (2nd)

2005-08-29T16:55:13Z

I know that scsi procfs is legacy code but this is a fix for a memory leak. While reading through sg.c I realized that the implementation of /proc/scsi/sg/devices with seq_file is leaking memory due to freeing the pointer returned by the next() iterator method. Since next() might return NULL or an error this is wrong. This patch fixes it through using the seq_files private field for holding the reference to the iterator object. Here is a small bash script to trigger the leak. Use slabtop to watch the size-32 usage grow and grow. #!/bin/sh while true; do cat /proc/scsi/sg/devices > /dev/null done Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] fix gl_skb/skb type error in genelink driver in usbnet

2005-08-29T16:55:12Z

I think there is a type error when port genelink driver to 2.6.. With this error, a linux host will panic when it link with a windows host. Cc: David Brownell Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] Revert unnecessary zlib_inflate/inftrees.c fix

2005-08-29T16:55:12Z

It turns out that empty distance code tables are not an error, and that a compressed block with only literals can validly have an empty table and should not be flagged as a data error. Some old versions of gzip had problems with this case, but it does not affect the zlib code in the kernel.

[PATCH] NPTL signal delivery deadlock fix

2005-08-29T16:55:12Z

This bug is quite subtle and only happens in a very interesting situation where a real-time threaded process is in the middle of a coredump when someone whacks it with a SIGKILL. However, this deadlock leaves the system pretty hosed and you have to reboot to recover. Not good for real-time priority-preemption applications like our telephony application, with 90+ real-time (SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR) processes, many of them multi-threaded, interacting with each other for high volume call processing.

[PATCH] Restrict socket policy loading to CAP_NET_ADMIN - CAN-2005-2555

2005-08-29T16:55:11Z

The interface needs much redesigning if we wish to allow normal users to do this in some way. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] Module per-cpu alignment cannot always be met

2005-08-15T00:20:11Z

Fwd from Daniel Drake . The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more than SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned. However, as these cases show, gcc asks sometimes asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a module, and if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON(). This is obviously an unusual combination, as there have been few reports, but better to warn than die.
